Dear Wolfgang Denk You are right ! i didn't specify importent stuff about my work : The board i'm working on is MPC860TFADS. I'm using the 2.2.14 kernel because at the moment it's working just fine( i have not bump into any bugs so far ) . The kernel is stable ,busybox is working and so is the network services . BCSR's are the Board & Statuse Control Registers of the FADS. The ppcboot-0.8.3 can work only with one of the tow : the scc_enet or the fec. Since the scc_enet is working ( and the fec isn't) , ppcboot dont initialize the BCSR4 register that (on the mpc860FADS) controls the fec so if i want to use it i have to initialize it during the booting process. The second thing is that i'm not planing to use ppcboot as boot loader in the future. I'm only using ppcboot so i coul'd download the image to the memory . The actual bootloader is mbxboot with some modifications. When the fec will work i'll burn the image on the flash memory .
If any one succeded to get the fec device to work on this board with the 2.2 kernel PLEASE tell me how Thank you for your help and your attention. oshri. ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
